Marvel Superheroes 2022 - Rumors & Discussion

[Scarilian]

Spider-man 4 is currently rumored to be July 2024, so if we are getting NWH sets they'd probably have to be between 2HY 2023 and 2HY 2024 otherwise they probably won't bother.

Now will they change director, change screenplay, are we in danger of getting a set inspired by the old film?  What do you think about it?

Lego sets are generally based around accessibility to concept art. I'd guess that the concept art would probably be carried over to whoever the new director is that they find. Similarly, some action scenes will have already been planned out as Marvel normally have a seperate team direct the action for films - especially if they are CGI intensive. I think it'll probably wind up being mostly accurate in terms of locations, but figures have the largest chance of being varied - other than Blade as his design and outfit has probably been selected already so they can do CGI models of him for fights.

Depends if they were seeing the Blade set(s) filling the 2nd half of the year (which I doubt they were). I don't think they would add anything new to replace them at this point so anything for 2HY is already planned to come out then. Legacy sets or classic comic/animated show sets they use to do would be good

True, I can't see them say pushing a 2024 set into 2023, but it's more a hope that Lego had something planned.

Do you mean 21st October?  

Yep, typo. Fixed it. End of next week would be my earliest guess of an official reveal. If it leaks prior, that's cool I guess, but I think they'd want to capitalize on it with a reveal before November.

The specialized sites, about the old script, report few action scenes, and not particularly brilliant.  So I think they are decided by the director in charge… okay, I hope at least the minifigures are accurate 🤞

No. The set comes with a fully functional time stone, that's why it's so expensive, and why the release window is like that.

2HY 2023 is my best bet. Especially now that the film schedule opened like that.

Between the assumed maturity/tone of Blade and the fact that I can't think of any builds they could realistically do for it, I feel like we'll most likely just see a movie-inspired Blade and villain in a spider-man set around that time.

I doubt Blade would get more than two sets, so I‘m not be sure why this delay is supposed to affect the 2023 set list in any major way

We have a lot of the 2023 set list and it appears all the film tie-in stuff is 1HY meaning we won't get any in 2HY with Blade now shifting. Seemingly nothing new film related between July 2023 and potentially May 2024.

"it's more a hope that Lego had something planned" for that period that will have the mass appeal needed to keep people invested in the theme for a gap of over 10 months where we won't get a new MCU film for them to base sets on - e.g. legacy sets

Huh, didn’t realise there’d be a 10-month gap in-between movies with the Blade delay. Luckily, there is still a lot of potential for more Infinity Saga sets in the meantime. 

Also, NWH. Just saying  Come on TLG, it‘s right there!

But that's just marvel studios movies, what about the Sony marvel movies, could we perhaps see sets for the into the spiderverse sequels or Spiderman 4 or the rumoured amazing Spiderman 3 or accurate NWH sets?

I’d suggest everyone go take a look at the usual # on Instagram.

For clarity, the Hulkbuster has leaked

Goddamn that is ridiculously big. By the scale of Tony on the back of the box, Hulk would be about as big as the foot, so clearly this has to be a Galactus or Celestial-buster

[BrickBob Studpants]

Too bad IG still doesn‘t show anything but the top 9 posts, I‘d like to see it

[NXS7]

If I made it out correctly the size looks like it's 26 inches, which is almost the same height as the Daily Bugle

[BrickBob Studpants]

Nvm, my sis sent me the picture

That looks seriously impressive! Not sure I‘ll be able to display it where I initially wanted 

[Changbricks]

I think the 'codpiece' is throwing me, the scale is way off imo

Regards,

Changbricks

[DaleCooperFBI]

 You’re onto something here. Something about the dimensions of the codpiece really draw attention to it, it almost feels like the build is being weighed down by the Hulks very own buster. REally disappointed with this build. 

[PGBQW]

This has to be one of the ugliest lego sets I've seen on my entire life.

 

Why is he standing like Crash Bandicoot?

[mirkwoodspiders]

I think it looks really good, but I still wish they'd used the slot and price-point for something else. This feels like a "see it in person before deciding whether or not to purchase" sort of model because of its imposing size. Absolutely enormous.

Holy shit How is my tiny Moc better than the£500 set. Im so dissapointed and laughing at it. 

The chest opens up . Thats cool however the designers completly missed the gold loading arms that hold the chest on are supposed to move with it, Heck they dont even reach the chest wtf!

something feels really off in this. looks like some kind off prototype for set, not actual set. it's need a little bit more work...

Gotta say thanks to LEGO for making this set so ugly that I have absolutely no desire to buy it.

I hope we'd see something for the spiderverse sequels, but lego doesn't do much for animated films. Hopefully given how successful it was they'll do Beyond the Spider-Verse sets, but given the delays for the movie I feel like we'd have heard about them by now. I suppose it's possible the Miles in the Morbius set is a BTSV miles.

Oh, and NWH sets would be great. TASM3 is still just rumored, I think, but even if it's real it'd be like a late 2024/early 2025 release at the earliest. No way they get it made by this 2HY 2023 gap we've got. Same with Spider-Man 4.

I can't see it due to these stupid IG changes, would anyone be able to hint at the name of a leaker who has the images up?

There's a post on promobricks's website.

....oof. The codpiece thing is weird but not a huge deal, but...wow. It's definately a weird mix of the mk44 and mk48. It honestly looks a bit ugly in some places. I'll also point out that the Quadrepedal $800 AT-AT is taller than this bipedal $550 set.

[Chris10]

Well that’s definitely saved me about £500!

Was so looking forward to the big Marvel D2C set this year, like everyone else I was hoping for Avengers Tower or a Helicarrier. I was even warming to the idea of a hulkbuster after seeing how well they nailed the recent Bowser model, but instead what we end up with is very underwhelming!

Between this and the Black Panther bust I can’t see them shifting many units at all. I really hope that doesn’t harm the chances of an Avengers Tower in the long run!

 

[Legocentrico]

Some things are weird, especially in the bust, but overall I like it!  I believe that the perspective has a great influence on the appearance: in the side image, where it appears open, it has an EXCEPTIONAL silhouette!  Plus the dimensions are scary!  I think many will change their minds after seeing it live
